Cape Cod New Year’s Classic - December 29 - 31 2011

The Cape Cod New Year’s Eve Classic is a great meet full of fun filled activities for the whole family including movies, magicians, bingo and a New Year’s Eve dance party with a DJ. The meet itself is held at the host hotel. I love that! And right outside the doors of the Grand Ballroom there are lots of vendors offering local seaside wares such as jewelry and artwork. This meet also offers great competition, awards, and gymnast prizes. It was nice to see our gymnasts and their families making full use of the facilities. The pool was a favorite, along with games in the lobby, and gatherings in some of the rooms. Adults on one end of the hotel – kids on the other. Lots of laughs all around. 

Our Level 4s had the honor of kicking off the meet on Thursday, December 29, 2011 at 1:00 P.M. Most of the team members averaged a 35+ AA. Alana led the team with a 36.15 which was earned her 2nd place in the Jr. Division. She received a whopping 9.55 on bars! This awesome score earned her 3rd place – so you can see what type of competition this meet provides. Alana placed 3rd on floor with a 8.85 on beam and 4th on floor with a 9.1. Hannah B. racked up two 9+ scores ( 9.0 (7th) on bars and 9.4 (4th) on beam) competing in the Sr. Division. Hannah placed 7th AA with a score of 35.55. Madi competing in the Team’s Jr. Division was 3rd team member to rack up a 9+ at this meet. She placed 5th on beam with a 9.0 and 7th AA with a score of 35.25. The Level 4s placed 3rd as a Team and were thrilled to receive their first banner. Congratulations girl and have fun signing that banner!

The Level 7s had the early call on Friday, December 30th . I think they should have brought coffee for the Judges because they were definitely not in a generous mood starting with this morning meet and lasting late into the evening through the Level 10 meet! Ellie’s awesome vault was the only 9.0 awarded to the Team during this session. The remaining scores were mostly between 8.6 and 8.8. Tough judging! But, even so with only 3 Team members competing the Level 7s placed 5th as a Team. Ellie competing in the Jr. Division placed 3rd on beam with an 8.7 and 1st on bars (8.775) and AA (34.625). Isabel competing in the Sr. Division placed on bars with an 8.7 and 4th on beam (8.4) and AA (34. 5). After a bite to eat the Level 7s were recharged and right back in the gym front and center cheering on their Level 8 teammates.

Jackie competing in the Jr. Division led the Level 8 Team throughout the day. She racked up 3 9+ scores and finished the meet with an awesome 36.3 AA (3rd)! Jackie scored 9.0 on vault (3rd), a whopping 9.425 (1st) for her gorgeous bar routine and 9.075 (5th) on beam. Kadianne competing in the Sr. Division racked up a pair of 9+s on bars (9.3) and beam (9.175) and placed 2nd (8.85) on vault. She placed 1st AA with a 35.825. Nicole competing in the Child Division racked up a 9.0 (6th) on floor. She placed 7th AA with a 34.5. The 8s placed 3rd as a Team. Happy banner signing! The Team is still missing Sarah who is sidelined due to an injury.

The Level 9 meet kicked off next with most of the Level 7s and 8s on hand to cheer the lone Team member, Kaylee, on. Kaylee had an awesome meet finishing 2nd AA with a 34.125. She scored 8.15 (7th) on vault, 8.3 (1st) on bar, 9.05 (1st) on beam, and 8.625 (2nd) on floor.

By the time the Level 10 meet kicked off most of the Optional Team including Allison who was unable to compete due to an injury and several members of the Compulsory Team were on hand to cheer Alyssa on. Alyssa had a great meet finishing 3rd AA with a 34.0. She placed 2nd on bars (8.75), 4th on beam (8.1) and 3rd on vault (8.95) and floor (8.2).

The Level 5 and 6 meets kicked off on New Year’s Eve. The Level 5 meet kicked off around 10:30 and suffice to say it seemed like another day the Judges could have used another cup of coffee. Alexi and Sarah M. competing in the Sr. Division and Rachel competing in the Jr. Division racked up the Team’s only 9+ scores in this session. All 3 scores were awarded for beam – very impressive! Lexi received a 9.075 (3rd). Sarah received a 9.025 (4th). Rachel received a 9.1 (3rd). The Level 5s placed 4th as a Team. Great job girls!

The Level 6 meet kicked off around noon with Krystiana as the lone Level 6 competing. She hung tough and finished 12th AA with a 33.45. Her best event was floor. She place 8th with an 8.85.

Krystiana also did quite well at Bingo.  Her folks better keep a close eye on her when we compete at Twin Rivers Casino. LOL! 

Congratulations to everyone who competed in this meet. There was a lot of tough competition and tough judging. Our Teams definitely were there to support each other and they held their own! They came home with the banners, tropheys, and medals to prove it and better yet the memories of the fun they had!

A couple of candid moments caught some of the Optional girls really getting into stretching (not) in the warm-up room and sporting their yoga pants in an interesting style while hanging out.

Kadianne and Nicole both finished with a 35.6 AA. Jackie finished with a 35.925.

For Level 9 Kaylee racked up 5 first place finishes and finished the meet with 32.35. Her awesome vault which she not only stood up, but stuck received an 8.75. Very nicely done!  Kaylee also qualified to participate in the State Meet. Great job!  Congratulations!

Our Level 10s, Allison and Alyssa finished the meet neck and neck. Alyssa placed 1st AA with 34.325, and Allison placed 2nd with a 34.25.

Level 8 - 10 Atlantic Holiday Meet, December 10, 2011

News Flash!

The Level 8 - 10 meet kicked off around 6:00 P.M.  Saturday evening.  This was the Level 8s third meet of the season and their Sectional #1.  This was the Level 9 - 10s first meet of the season.  The Level 8s had a fantastic meet.  They were strong on bars each taking first place in their age group and also on beam with Jackie and Kadianne taking first and Nicole taking 3rd.  The floor judges were definately not giving anything away, but the 8s managed to place 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The girls awesome vaults earned them 3rd and 4th place medals. Each of them placed first All Around in their age group and qualified to compete at that the State Meet.  Kadianne also won a Judges Award for the highest Level 8 dismount on bars.  Sarah, who is still out with an injury was there to celebrate with her team. 

Our lone Level 9, Kaylee, was strong on beam placing 1st and landed her awesome vault which was awarded 3rd place.  She also placed 3rd AA.

For the Level 10s Allison and Alyssa were neck and neck on vault placing 3rd and 4th.  Alyssa's awesome bar routine won her the gold as did her tumbling packed floor routine.  She was well on her way to another medal on beam when she straddled the beam which caused the entire audience to wince!  Although, it was easy to see she was hurting, she remounted the beam and finished the routine like a champ.  Even with the fall and the pain she placed 5th!  Great job!  Allison placed 2nd on floor and 4th on beam.  Alyssa placed 2nd AA and Allison placed 4th.  Allison also won a judges award for her "skyhigh doubleback".
